LIVE: A game of Tank Chess on BGG!

During the last few days, on BGG forums there was a game going on between our supporter Marcos Hidalgo and one of the authors of Tank Chess, Dragan Lazović, on the 16x16 squares board (LINK). That was the first public game ever of Tank Chess, and also the first annotated game on Internet, and for every move played there was a picture provided so it was really easy to follow all the details.

It was the first game for Marcos and he proved that the basics of game are very easy to learn and that the improvement of a novice can be seen in just a few moves (not even games!). We use this opportunity to thank him publicly for his efforts and for helping us making this game even more popular.

So, we are happy to say that today (December 23rd) another game will start, between the same opponents, but on the bigger board (20x20sq.). That means that other than Light, Heavy and Medium tanks, you’ll see Tank Destroyers and Heavy Mortars in action.

We invite all of you to follow it on BGG forums and to see for yourselves how easy it is to learn the basics, but also how challenging it can be and how finding really good moves requires positional understanding, strategic awareness and, at times, some deep calculation. Without any doubt, you’re in for another interesting and, more important, very instructive game.

@patrick henry inocillas: The 2+ range means that you can shoot as far as you have a clear line of sight on the enemy. If two tanks are in opposing corners of the board 16x16 or 20x20 and have no obstacles in between they can shoot each other. It adds a fascinating new layer of strategy and planning that I can't wait to try out.
